  1. Went to a Loblaws store self checkout and found: a) a camera aimed at my face; b) a camera aimed at the scanner; c) ai recognition of items. There were no indications of filming, consent, change or procedure. Therefore, I am no longer a client. It will make life a little more difficult but will make my world a little less Orwellian. #noai #Loblaws #Privacy #Disgust

  8. The #Loblaws data breach made me realize just how much info this company has on me even though I don't collect #Optimum points.

  10. In the last months, I've been paying more attention to labels, especially while shopping groceries.

    That's because I want to purchase products made in #canada instead of the USA

    But another thing that I've noticed is that so many products are coming from very few companies.

    - #loblaws
    - #metro
    - #sobeys
    - etc

    Shouldn't we be worried about that? Few companies controlling all the canadian retail?

  13. It would seem that Loblaw might have charged a donation to President's Choice Children's Charity without consent, in particular at some Maxi stores.

  14. After the collapse of a factory in Bangladesh that made Joe Fresh clothing killed 1,134 workers a decade ago, its Canadian parent company promised safe factories and fair wages.

    Ten years later, an investigation by The Fifth Estate raises questions of whether Loblaw has delivered on that promise.

  15. I took this in the #Loblaws at #Yonge & #StClair back in 2019. It captured my eye as I never heard of some of these types of #apples. One of my favs, #CosmicCrisp didn't make this chart, but it's on the sweeter side. I love these in #pies, #crumbles & just fresh cut with peanut butter &/or cheese.
    Which one/s are your favourite? #applepicking #produce #fallharvest

  16. Who is in charge of consumer refuse "recycling" in many parts of #canada, including my town in #NewBrunswick?

    Why it's none other than executives from many of the enormous conglomerates that create & distribute all the plastic packaging in the first place!

    No matter how many times I email them asking, they will not reveal what they're doing with all that collected plastic they're going to "recycle".

    We already know that the vast majority of plastic to be recycled never is: it finds its way to places like #india:

    But at the same time #cbc is perfectly happy to pretend along with the "big lie" they've uncovered by refusing to use any critical thinking when covering local implementations of these projects:

    cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswi

    Sure, *our* landfill may have less shit in it, but it had to go *somewhere*, and that somewhere is NOT back into "the circular economy". It goes to pollute some distant shore, to affect some distant population, to ruin the lives of others. It's RACISM.

    Pats on the back and kudos all around to us *resourceful #Canadians*.

  17. Broadview and Danforth Loblaws is becoming a No Frills - pretty disappointing store most of the time so maybe this freshening up will help? Or maybe it’ll become a housing development a few minutes later.

  18. "Akter’s dreams, however, along with the dreams of the millions like her in Bangladesh, remain out of reach.

    That’s despite big promises made by Canadian companies like Joe Fresh after the collapse of a massive garment factory in Bangladesh a decade ago that killed more than 1,100 workers and injured another 2,500" #loblaws #joefresh #explotation #deaths

  19. PSA about #boycotts: not everyone is going to join your #boycott movement, and sometimes you need to respect that. Sometimes people don’t have #alternatives. For example #safefoods: some brands are only sold at one store, such as President’s Choice only being sold at #Loblaws stores or #GreatValue only being sold at #Walmart. Telling people they are bad for not #boycotting is incredibly #ableist in that case regardless of your reason for wanting them to boycott. Fight the #corporation, not the #consumer. @actuallyautistic @allautistics

  20. How much is Weston leg?

    One day, starving people, are going to cook and eat the CEO of Loblaws. There's no other way to survive. Record profits, while people starve.. I've never tasted human flesh, pass a piece of the Weston family here, do we get PC points for a leg or arm?
